Apply coconut oil to the hair where the offending gum is stuck, working it in to fully lubricate the strands, and from that point you should be able to gently pull and remove the gum without damage to the hair.

You can also use coconut oil to remove gum from carpet or other similar fabrics. The same method can be used; apply liberally to the area (after a spot test to see if the oil will stain or otherwise affect the material) and massage the gum out of the fabric’s fibers.

Cast iron skillets are a wonderful investment, and will last you forever if they are properly cared for. When you first get your new pan, take the time to season it so that it will stay nonstick. To do this, apply a liberal amount of coconut oil to the entire pan and set in a cooled oven.

Preheat the oven, place the pan inside, set the oven to 300 degrees, and leave in for thirty minutes after the oven reaches the set temperature. Let the oven and pan cool completely before removing and you will have a perfectly seasoned skillet.

Little ones will love this DIY play-dough just as much as the store-bought kind, and you can rest easy knowing exactly what’s in it. Let the crafting begin!

Not only is coconut oil believed to stimulate eyelash growth, but it’s also known to nourish eyebrows. Regular application of coconut oil to the brows will hydrate the skin under and around the area, moisturize the hair, and help to protect and condition against regular makeup use.

Apply oil with a clean finger or cotton pad to the entire brow, making sure the skin is properly saturated. Sleep with the product on and gently rinse before washing your face the next morning. Repeat nightly and reap the benefits of consistent use.

Though conventional sunscreen products typically block a higher majority of UV rays from the sun, coconut oil can be a great alternative, whether in a pinch or for those who are sensitive to store-bought sunscreen ingredients.

Additionally, wearing coconut oil on the skin while out in the sun can greatly aid your skin’s hydration levels, keeping you looking and feeling smooth and soft.

If you’re getting tired of cleaning up hairballs from your beloved cats, try using coconut oil. A small amount of coconut oil daily will help them better digest the hairballs and let them pass through without the need to cough them up.

It only takes about half a teaspoon to promote this healthy digestion in cats. If they do not respond well to mixing it into their food, you can simply apply the same amount of oil to their paws so that they will lick it off.

To keep your stainless steel appliances shiny and new, use a small amount of coconut oil to buff away any streaks or splotches. Dip a soft cloth or cotton t-shirt (avoid paper towels or other materials that could shed), into a bit of coconut oil and use long strokes to buff out your stainless steel surfaces.

Doing this regularly will keep your kitchen looking new and fresh. Use on any stainless steel finish, but avoid finishes that are exposed to heat, such as the stovetop — the oil could cause discoloring in these instances.

Coconut butter, a delicious spread that’s often used as a vegan alternative to dairy butter, can be expensive to buy in-store. However, it can be quite easy to make at home with just a few ingredients. There are many recipes, but coconut oil is a star player in all.

Not only does coconut oil make a great hair mask, but it can also be used to amplify the benefits of your regular shampoo and conditioner routines. If you have extra dry or curly hair, apply coconut oil to the ends of your hair about an hour before washing and it will help to protect each strand from potential drying effects of your shampoo.

Coconut oil can also help your conditioner work more effectively. After applying conditioner, follow with a layer of melted coconut oil all over. Let sit for a few minutes while it seals in the conditioner’s hydration, and rinse well. Enjoy healthy, shiny hair!

Next time you’re in need of a massage for sore or tired muscles, try using coconut oil as a safe and natural alternative to other massage oils.

When you’re done with your massage, your muscles will be relaxed and your skin soft, hydrated, and glowing.

Coconut oil has amazing antibacterial properties. That’s why it’s been used for years in ancient Eastern traditions to improve and maintain a healthy mouth and teeth. With a process called oil pulling, a daily practice can freshen breath and even whiten teeth over time.

Take about a tablespoon of oil in your mouth and swish it around for 10-20 minutes, being sure to push it between your teeth and around your cheeks. When you’re finished, spit into a trash can and brush teeth afterward.
